Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1/4 cup shortening |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened |
1 egg |
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Mix sugars, peanut butter, shortening, butter and egg in large bowl.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients.
3. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
4. Heat oven to 375ºF.
5. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.
6. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped into sugar (water works well too).
7. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown.
8. Note: about 1 minute before they are done it helps to lift and bang the sheet on the rack and turn it.
9. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet.
10. Cool on a wire rack.
11. Other note: you can use all butter/margarine to replace the shortening and probably would work vice versa as well.
